36. Philadelphia 76ers: Killian Tillie Gonzaga
Big Board Rank: 33
The Frenchman from Gonzaga is a high IQ stretch four. He would benefit from playing in an off ball role with Ben Simmons. Hopefully eventually giving the 76ers some decent rotational minutes.
37. Memphis Grizzlies: Kevin Hervey SF/PF UTSA
Big Board Rank: 36
Much like the reasoning for the Miles Bridges pick the Grizzlies just need somebody who can put the ball in the hoop. Kevin Hervey is a mid major scoring machine with an NBA body averaging almost 21 points a game at UTSA.
38. New York Knicks: Rui Hachimura SF/PF Gonzaga
Big Board Rank: 32
Rui Hachimura is a very raw player, but if the Knicks bring him along slowly could be a nice compliment to Kristaps at the four position. If Hachimura develops a jump shot the Knicks could be a really hard team guard if the opposing teams 4 and 5 have to guard both of them out to the three point line.
39. Philadelphia 76ers: Elie Okobo PG France
Big Board Rank: 53
The 76ers need to trade at least one of these second round picks right? Okobo has gained a little draft buzz recently. He’s a score first 6’2″ point guard averaging 13.3 points in 26 minutes. The 76ers stash him here just in case something goes wrong with Fultz at least they have some kind of insurance. Even if it is a major downgrade talent wise.
40. Brooklyn Nets: Hamidou Diallo SG Kentucky
Big Board Rank: 45
The Nets bring the Brooklyn native back home from Lexington. Even though I’m not high on Diallo either he’s just too talented to go undrafted. Hopefully, he finds a positive way to make use of his freak athleticism.
